Thanks to all for your kind comments. Forgot to mention that as we were putting our gear back in the car's backseat at this stop I saw a lightning bolt in my peripheral vision. Since it was peripheral, I can't be sure, but my perception was that it was not a downward stroke, but one that went horizontally across the sky close enough to make us involuntarily DUCK. It was immediately followed by the sort of "thunder" that I have never heard before (in my 51 years). It sounded simply like a big rifle report or the crack of some cosmic bullwhip. It was not an electrical "snap" and it was not followed by a big boom. It was definitely "thunder" just like the nearby report of a high powered rifle. Very cool, but also heart stopping. Suffice it to say we dove into the front seats rather quickly after that.
